For a quick stay in the city when you don't mind not being too close to things it's a good value. It's on a bus line but not close to the train stop so you'll have to drive or take a cab to downtown. The free parking is an added bonus but its first come first serve so you may end up parking down the street in not the best area after dark. Our hotel room was spacious and clean but the bathroom door wouldn't close which is inconvenient. Hotel staff also are not the friendliest. Overall you get what you pay for.

I do not care much about the looks of a hotel. I just ask for a clean bed and bathroom and I am happy. This hotel did not even deliver that. The front desk personnel was unfriendly, pillows and sheets were dirty and smelly, the sofa had several stains, the little table had something yellow and sticky that I don't want to know what it was. It is just a bad hotel. It reminds me about a $20 room I got in Mexico. Of course this costs $150. Lesson learned.

I visited a few friends in Chicago and found this hotel on Hotwire. It is not the most luxurious hotel but more than met my needs of a good place to sleep and shower. The front desk and staff were excellent and pleasant. Location were very good especially if you are seeing soldier field, etc.

If you have are seeking good value and have a car and expect to use it, while visiting Chicago, this hotel is a very good choice. Keeping in mind that this is not a hotel aimed at the high-end consumers, the property hits the right marks for a value-oriented traveler: free parking, comfortable accommodations, cleanliness, and safety. Some spots on the carpet and a general appearance that shows the property's age keep me from giving this a five-star rating, but overall, the place delivered well on the factors that were important to me.

Room Tip: Request a room on a higher floor. Though I did not hear anything, the noise level seems to be a comm...

Booked through hot wire and got a good price. Front desk personnel were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious but in need of a better cleaning of the bathroom and some new paint. We felt comfortable walking around the neighborhood during the day. It is a haul from downtown, Northerly Island, etc .... Free parking made it worth it.

Booked on Hotwire, but was priced well on kayak. Was looking for low cost, including parking.This hotel is literally on State street, which makes bus at front door. Less than 25 minutes to get to your day trip for family... Millennium park, short walk from state to Shedd Aquarium, 35 minutes directly to Navy Pier!

We drove, but could have walked a few blocks to Reggie's Music Joint, what a great place. Out door dining on street, but don't miss the roof top deck. Good mix of bar foods, fun, and ambiance.

Room was spacious, bathroom clean. Fridge in room. We came here after a night at a 4 star hotel to the north, and my children were much more comfortable at this place because it was relaxed. Parking in town can cost you 40 plus (closer to 60 at the other hotel). So this was a great value.

Pizza can be ordered to room, and actually, several nearby State street restaurants will deliverChicago's Chinatown is a few blocks away, not as charming as DC, SF, NYC. Lots of dim sum places that are on recommended restaurant list.

Came into town July 25-27. Convenient to stay to be near the McCormick Center, not convenient if you plan on the Miracle Mile or Navy Pier if you don't plan on driving yourself or taking public transportation. Hotel lobby was nice, rooms were decent. The only complaints I have is the coffee is horrible in the hotel restaurant & little coffee shop within the hotel. Ended up finding a Starbucks on the last day down by the Illinois State Tech Univ. The elevator was out of service for a bit on Saturday, they didn't have signs posted on each floor. The bar was ok. One bartender was a bit rude. The L26 Restaurant for dinner was good, breakfast buffet was "eh". nothing special. Bacon a bit hard, and powdered eggs. Liked the free parking. I think this hotel could be a hit or miss. We happened to hit it on a good weekend. I think we lucked out that we didn't have people on either side of us, so it was quiet. Bottom line: Decent and reasonable priced if you don't want to spend all your money in town on a hotel. Stay here.
